KNIPEX Tools - Long Nose Pliers With Cutter, Multi-Component (2612200), Multi-Colour, 8 inches

I've been doing more electrical work around my apartment and in my garage, and my rusty craigslist pliers needed replacement. A friend employed as a lineman told me to buy KNIPEX - and I'm glad I made the investment. These are extremely comfortable to hold and "just right" in every regard. Grippy tips that make it easy to grab dropped screws or wires. A sharp cutting blade that makes it easy to punch through even thick wire. The action in the hinge is perfect: not too tight, not too lose, not at all fatiguing on the hand. One of the few recent purchases I've made where "Made in Germany" still means something: world-class engineering and undisputed quality. I understand the hype around these, and as more tools become eligible for replacement, I won't hesitate to purchase the Knipex equivalent.

King of the hill KNIPEX

**The Pinnacle of Pliers: Where German Engineering Meets the Perfect Tool** **★★★★★ An Unmatched Fusion of Precision, Power, and Ergonomics** In a toolbox filled with good-enough tools, the KNIPEX Long Nose Pliers (2612200) stand apart as a masterpiece. As an electronics technician and avid DIYer, I've used my fair share of long-nose pliers, from cheap hardware store finds to other professional brands. None come close to the thoughtful design and flawless execution of this tool. This isn't just a pair of pliers; it's an extension of your hand that makes delicate work not just easier, but a genuine pleasure. **Unrivaled Precision and Control** The business end of these pliers is where the magic happens. * **Finely Tapered, Rock-Solid Jaws:** The jaws are long and slender, tapering to a fine point that provides unparalleled access to the tightest spaces. Despite their slim profile, they are manufactured from KNIPEX's high-grade chrome vanadium electric steel, making them incredibly strong and resistant to spreading. I can confidently twist a wire in a crowded terminal block without fear of the tips bending or breaking. * **Flawless Cutter Performance:** The integrated diagonal cutter is a beast. It cleanly shears through copper wire, component leads, and even small screws with astonishing ease. The cut is clean and burr-free, which is critical for reliable electrical connections. The cutter is precision-honed and feels like it will stay sharp for a lifetime. **Ergonomic Brilliance for All-Day Comfort** This is where KNIPEX demonstrates its understanding of the professional user. * **The Multi-Component Grips are a Game-Changer:** The two-color, multi-component grips are the most comfortable I've ever held. The firm, slip-resistant black zones provide a secure grip, while the softer, textured red zones cushion your hand and absorb strain. The difference during a long soldering or assembly session is night and day—dramatically reducing hand fatigue. * **Perfectly Balanced:** The pliers have a superb balance, feeling neither tip-heavy nor handle-heavy. This contributes to the overall feeling of control and precision, making fine motor tasks feel effortless. **Durability That Inspires Absolute Confidence** From the moment you pick them up, you can feel the quality. The joint movement is silky smooth yet completely free of play. The high-polish finish not only looks professional but also provides excellent corrosion resistance. This is a tool built not for a project, but for a career. **Real-World Applications: Where It Excels** * **Electronics Work:** The perfect tool for placing components on a PCB, retrieving dropped screws, and cutting leads. * **Jewelry Making and Model Building:** The fine, non-marring tips are ideal for handling tiny parts and making precise adjustments. * **General DIY & Electrical Work:** Perfect for wiring light fixtures, installing outlets, and any task requiring dexterity and a clean cut in confined spaces. **The Final Verdict** The KNIPEX Long Nose Pliers are worth every single penny. While the initial cost is higher than a generic pair, the longevity, performance, and user comfort provide an incredible return on investment. **Who is this for?** * Professional electricians, engineers, and technicians. * Serious electronics hobbyists and makers. * Jewelers, model builders, and anyone requiring fine precision. * DIYers who appreciate owning the absolute best tools. **Who might want to look elsewhere?** * Someone who needs a pair of pliers for occasional, rough use that might damage these precision tips. **Final Thought:** This is a tool you buy for a lifetime. The joy of using a perfectly engineered instrument cannot be overstated. **Stop struggling with mediocre pliers and experience the KNIPEX difference. This is, without a doubt, the definitive long-nose plier and an essential cornerstone of any quality toolkit. Highest possible recommendation.**

Very high quality, comfortable, and overall great.

I've owned many needle nose pliers. Most were "pretty good". All of them had about the same shape and size jaws. This one is different, with its long, slender jaws. They reach areas others cannot touch. The tip is machined for precise and firm grip. I can reach and hold that tiny wire or piece of tape or metal part that could not be touched with any other tool in my toolbox - not even tweezers. The price may seem high, but for me, it is well worth it and justified.

Decent pair of long nose with good rigidity and easy, comfortable grip handle

Good pair of needle nose pliers. Long and get in tight spaces a lot better than kilein. Only complaint I have is that the actual needle end of it, isn't very hard. They seem to bend a lot when working with harder metals and thing that don't give as much. I.e thicker wire and ko's in junction boxes. Other than that, great pair of pliers.

As I've grown older and used many tools for many years, I've found that higher quality tools function better and last longer. For me, investing in the best costs LESS than a cheaper tool. A standard needle nose plier is a go-to tool for most of us. This is my first tool from Knipex and will not be my last. As the other reviews state, it is strong, well designed, well made and functions well. I have used this tool for only a short time, but it is clear that it blows away the competition. I have good needle nose pliers from Craftsman, Klein and Channel Lock, but this is noticeably better. And not just incrementally better - I would say that it's twice the tool. So is it worth $32 with free shipping - YES! When you grab this plier in your hand and squeeze your first wire, you'll say "Ohhhh". Don't hesitate to buy this tool. You won't be disappointed. I will say that because Knipex offers so many pliers, the selection is very difficult. I contacted the Knipex Chicago office in the US to get the part number of what I called a "standard needle nose plier" and the gentleman I spoke with (who was rather rude on the phone) ultimately emailed me to say that Knipex doesn't offer the tool. Information for Knipex US and those of you shopping: The 2612200 is a standard needle nose plier. My experience with Knipex US does not keep me from giving it five stars.

Calidad excelente , tamaño excelente , muy buena herramienta para trabajar en floristería.
